Transportation will start by the end of 2007 or the beginning of 2008. Sovkomflot plans to transport 6.5 million tonnes of oil annually and has ordered two ice-class tankers each with a deadweight of 70,000 tonnes from the Admiralteisky Shipyard in St. Petersburg.

Each tanker can operate in ice cover up to1.2 metres thick ice, Interfax news agency reported.
